The Parkgate Hotel
"Modern hotel with lovely spa. Only criticism is that there was a really loud musical performance going on in one of the function rooms (singer and guitar) which filtered through to the restaurant mixing with the background music. Easily solved if doors were closed."

"Lovely big, clean room and friendly, accommodating staff. Breakfast was nice. Expect slightly faded grandeur rather than a modern property. Good value for money."
